The new lamps last about 10 times as long as the old, reducing ongoing maintenance and replacement costs. Daylight and motion sensors can further reduce costs.

And with rebates offered by the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program, most commercial lighting upgrades pay for themselves within 10-16 months.

If this isn’t convincing enough, here are a few examples of how our clients have benefited from lighting upgrades.

Some real-world case studies

At ESIC Lighting, we pride ourselves on knowing the best products and systems for commercial and industrial premises. Our tailored solutions have an average payback period of 14 months.

Caron Laboratories, in North Geelong, has been producing salon products since 1979 and its waxes are used in salons around the world.

The company recently upgraded to energy-efficient LED lighting to cut costs and reduce its carbon footprint. The result was impressive: an 88% reduction in lighting energy consumption and carbon emissions, and a 50% improvement in light levels.

Our other clients have had major benefits too:

At the Sporting Globe bar, we replaced 50W halogen downlights with 10W LED downlights. The result was an 82% reduction in the annual lighting power bill.

At the Corio headquarters of Tashco, a leading maker of showcases and display cabinets, we installed LEDs with daylight sensors in the factory space, saving 70% in lighting energy costs.

Replacing halogen downlights with LED lights at Claytons’ 5500-square-metre Laverton North factory resulted in savings of 73% on the lighting bill and a 200% improvement in light levels.
